Hello modeller friends,
FLY Models caused quite a stir when they released their 1/32 Hurricane in April 2016. By a general consensus on the modelling forums, it's the best Hurricane on the market: accurate shape, good dimensions, adequate surface detail and unbeatable bang for the buck, etcâ€¦
One question remains: HOW DOES IT BUILD?
Strangely there are but a very few WIP's (one on this very forum) on the internet for such a popular model. Furthermore they all stopped still after a few instalments. What happened? Is there a monster glitch out there waiting for the unwary modeller?
I decided to find out and share my experience with you.
Before starting up, let me tell you that I've never been interested in the Hurricane as a plane and that I've never built a Hurricane in all my modelling years. That is before a friend showed me the FLY kit he just bought . I was unexplainably drawn to the box and before long I was cutting up the sprues, dry-fitting the parts â€¦ and buying the kit back from my friend.
So let the build begins. First, the box with the 'meh' painting...
â€¦ and the all-important documentation, excellent references I got from another friend. Most of it sadly OOP:
Next episode: Dry-fitting the parts
Until then,
Cheers,
Quang

Hi everyone,
Having eventually completed the F-4E, the desire to actually assemble a model rather than admire the contents has returned. The subject of the next labour of love is the old Revell F-15 which I am going to attempt to construct as its 'B' version. I'm not sure why I've gone for another Revell kit other than they are relatively cheap in comparison to the alternatives and this one is nearer to a B than converting say the Tamiya E (I also have some spare parts for this kit if I screw something up!). That said I will inevitably blow this reasoning out of the water by buying more aftermarket stuff than I need and adding stuff like lights that will turn it from 'easy and cheap' to 'challenging and expensive'. The other challenge will be making a mono-chromatic paint finish look real. So here's the kit in question:
I understand that the shape is good but it lacks some of the Tamiya detail. As I have a Tamiya C I'm going to try and read across any additional detail that looks ok. I also have Jake Melampy's excellent book on the F-15 and some internet piccies though this version will be an early 70's jet so references are a bit thin on the ground. My initial hit list will include:
- Revised cockpit based on the Aires A model pit
- Escapac sets (kit has Aces version)
- Revised engine exhausts as the kits ones are pretty plain
- Added rivet detail - this kit has none
- Added detail where the vents are
- Added crew (the kit has none)
- Alternative sidewinder launch-rails where no weapons are carried - kit ones are pretty crude
- New formation lights
- Aim-9J drill rounds
Feel free to offer any steers on where else I mighty need to go.
Please bear in mind that my work-rate is inversely proportional to home command commitments so don't expect a quick turn-round!
Thanks for watching.

This is my Spitfire Vb built from the Hobbyboss kit, I know many complain about it for a few reasons, but to me it looks like a Spitfire...…...and that's good enough for me lol! Its was built out of the box and MRP paints were used.
Hope you like it, but here is a bit about the man in the machine first.
Squadron Leader 'Buck' Casson, who has died aged 88, escaped from France in May 1940 to fly Spitfires over south-eastern England during the Battle of Britain; later he was a flight commander in Wing Commander Douglas Bader's "Tangmere Wing" before being shot down over northern France in August 1941.
Casson was one of the original three trainee pilots to join the newly formed 616 (South Yorkshire) Auxiliary Air Force Squadron at Doncaster in early 1939. Training at weekends and during the annual summer camps, he qualified as a pilot in early 1940 before being sent to France as a reinforcement to 501 Squadron. But, before he could join them, the train on which he was travelling was bombed outside Amiens and he lost all his belongings. Casson managed to escape by boat back to England from Cherbourg.
After a brief spell flying Hurricanes with 79 Squadron at Biggin Hill, he rejoined 616 at Leconfield, Yorkshire, just as the Battle of Britain gathered momentum. At lunchtime on August 15, the fighter squadrons based in north-east England were scrambled to face the Luftwaffe's most concentrated attack against industrial targets in Scotland and the north of England.
Casson flew one of the 12 Spitfires which met the enemy as they crossed the Yorkshire coast. Within minutes, 616 Squadron had accounted for six of the unescorted bombers, with similar results achieved by other northern-based squadrons. A few days later, 616 flew south to Kenley where the squadron was involved in some of the fiercest fighting of the battle as part of Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park's No 11 Group.
Once 616 became fully operational again in early 1941, it was transferred and came under the command of the new Wing Leader, the legless pilot Douglas Bader, at Tangmere. The squadron boasted a glittering array of outstanding pilots, including "Johnnie" Johnson and "Cocky" Dundas. With his steadying and mature influence, allied to the experience gained during the hectic summer days of 1940, Casson became a section leader. On May 5, he shared in the destruction of a Junkers 88, but was hit by return fire, and was forced to bale out over Chichester harbour.
On August 9, the "Bader" Wing took off for another sweep over France. During a hectic fight in which German fighters surprised them from above, Bader was shot down, and the Wing was forced to scatter. Casson had accounted for an Me 109 when he went to the aid of a lone Spitfire, but before he could join up he was engaged by a German fighter. Cannon shells damaged his aircraft's engine, forcing him to crash near St Omer, where he was captured. Shortly after his arrival at Stalag Luft III at Sagan, it was announced that Casson had been awarded the DFC. (The Telegraph)

Hope you like it, but here is a bit about the man in the machine first.
The son of Polish-born Swiss parents, Zumbach was registered as a Swiss citizen and hid his nationality in order to join the Polish army in 1934. He served as an infantryman until 1936 when he transferred to the Polish Air Force. After graduating from flying training in 1938 he was posted to 111 Eskadra Mysliwska.
Zumbach did not fly during the German invasion of Poland due to a broken leg as a result of a flying accident during the summer of 1939. He returned to his unit only to be evacuated to France via Romania. While in France, Zumbach flew the Morane 406 and Curtiss Hawk 75 with GCII/55. On 10 June, he was one of several pilots shot down by Bf 109s, but escaped unscathed. On 18 June 1940, he traveled to England by boat and on 2 August was posted as one of the founding members of the newly formed No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.
During the Battle of Britain, Zumbach scored eight confirmed kills and one probable, mostly against Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. Zumbach was shot down by a JG 3 Bf 109 over Dover on 9 May 1941 when returning from a mission, but he was able to bail out unharmed.
Zumbach became one of the first Allied pilots to engage in combat with the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 when he damaged, and in return, his aircraft was damaged by a "single radial-engined fighter" on 13 October 1941. In December 1941, Zumbach was posted to 58 OTU, and in March 1942 returned to 303 Sqn as a flight commander. In May, he was promoted to Squadron Leader and took command of the squadron, a post Zumbach held from 19 May 1942 until 30 November 1943
During this period, Zumbach flew three Supermarine Spitfire VBs, carrying the serial numbers BM144, EP594 and EN951. All these aircraft carried the same code, RF-D, ("RF" being the squadron code for 303 Sqn) and "D" being the individual aircraft code. All three aircraft carried a cartoon of Donald Duck on the port side of the fuselage, slightly forward of the cockpit. Zumbach's victory tally was marked with German crosses under the cockpit on the port side; confirmed kills were outlined in white, probable kills in red, and damaged aircraft with no outline.
After handing over command of 303 Sqn to Sqn Ldr Bieńkowski, Zumbach spent a year in staff appointments, including the Polish Air Force Staff College. He returned to flying duties as the commander of the 2nd Polish Air Wing, No 133 Wing. On 25 September 1944, he scored his final victory of the war, a probable kill over a JG 26 Fw 190 over Arnhem.
On 30 January 1945, Zumbach was posted to HQ, No. 84 Group. While flying an Auster that was used to visit units under the Group's command, he made a navigational error and ran out of fuel. He force-landed in enemy territory and spent the final month of the war as a prisoner of war.
Zumbach's final victory tally was 12 (and 2 shared) confirmed kills, five probables and one damaged.

Hi everyone,
This is the Revell 1/32 F-4E kit with some aftermarket help from GT Resin in the form of exhausts, belly strap and intakes, new nose from Sierra Hotel, Aim-9Js from Cutting Edge and a cockpit from Legend. The aim was to depict a late 70's USAFE jet from the 50TFW at Hahn AFB using AirDoc decals, put her in-flight and add some lighting to bring her to life. This was sort of a learning project for me, picking up on the excellent tips found in this forum, trying out some new techniques and learning from my mistakes (of which I made a few - see build for details!). In the end it took 2 and a half years to complete so the ratio of builds to acquires is way out of kilter. Anyway, on to the pics...
And with lights on...
Overall, a challenging but fun build of the impressive Phantom! Build thread is here ...

Many thanks for looking!

Hi,
My name is Richie and I love the smell of burnt kerosene.
Having spent many hours viewing the absolute masterpieces on this site and trying to hoover up as much inspiration as I can, I've decided to take the plunge and commit my effort to the wider community in an attempt to improve my game. As way of background I suffer from:
a - an over-ambitious build programme that would require the invention of time travel to complete my collection.
b - a lack of resistance to nice new shiny decals (that adds to the first issue).
c - an inability to recognise that OOB is just fine in most cases.
d - the view that 50 Shades of Grey is the epitome of panel weathering.
e - a lack of sufficient minutes in the day to fit everything in (work, family, plastic fettling etc)
I am also an Optimistic 80%er. By that I mean I will endeavour to add detail/changes when it makes a noticeable difference but lack of skills / patience may ultimately limit my AMS ambition to a level of â€˜Good Enough'.
And so to the challenge, a 1/32 Revell F-4E.
This is going to be only my 2nd 1/32 effort, the first being a Revell Hawk T1, but my first on-line build. Not entirely sure of the markings yet but it will probably be an early USAFE bird in Vietnam c/s. True to form I have acquired more aftermarket stuff than I really need including:
- GT Resin Intakes and Exhausts
- SH replacement nose
- CE Aim 9J/P
- Legend F-4E Cockpit
- Eduard PE
- Master Details Pilot figure
- Master Pitot Probes
As if first night nerves wasn't enough, it will also be the first time I have used a lot of this stuff and just to make it more interesting I'm going to put her in flight and light her up. This may get ugly. For those who like their builds quick and dirty, sorry but this is going to be a slow burn (but probably dirty!). Very happy for comments, suggestions, advice etc but don't be offended if I do something different or not quite true to life, as they say art is in the eye of the beholder. Oh, and as a cautionary tale to others I will also be keeping an catalogue of errors of all the mistakes I make. Lets hope it stays in double figures!
Game on.

Hi All - I,m a newbie on LSP and thought I would post up my restoration of an old Hasegawa 1/32 Skyhawk kit that was gradually losing bits and succumbing to damage sitting on a shelf.
I actually have a current post for the WIP on Britmodeller and have only recently discovered some Skyhawk models on LSP by GDW and Anthony in NZ that got my admiration - as it is a 1/32 model I thought I would post the WIP here as well.
The link to the Britmodeller WIP is here - https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235027738-ran-a4g-skyhawk/
The photos below show where the restoration is up to as of this morning.
This is a shot of where she will sit in the display case next to my Fisher Sea Fury - might even be able to
squeeze a 1/32 Sea Venom with folded wings in there too one day & maybe the Fisher Firefly!
regards
CJP

Hey everybody!
With the help of alaninaustria, we created a new set aimed towards Me-262 Twin seater fans. The set will feature 5 different options and the missing insignia from Revell kit.
It features corrected numbers /size- and shape-wise/, various werk-numbers and it is suitable for Trumpeter and Revell 32nd scale kits.
What we tried to make is the most accurate set for Me-262B, based on our own research which Alan helped us with.
The set will be accompanied by a surprise announcement, shortly after its release. However, we will keep that as a little secret right till the very last moment.
Stay tuned for more information and we sincerely hope that you will like it!
P.S. Many thanx Alan!

"So what to build next?" I ask myself. After finishing the CT-155 in the colour me blue Group build I have been pondering what is next. Having followed the amazing work from Peter on the 1/18 Spitfire Mk. XIVe - Race #80 I found myself further inspired. My son of 11 has also proclaimed the Spitfire as the best aircraft ever but I don't have the heart to tell him it was the hurricane . Not that I want to start any fights on LSP either but the spitfire is a beautiful aircraft. So I picked up the 1/32 Revell Spitfire MK.IIa to hopefully build something respectable and that he can keep for himself. I have not settled on the whether to build it out of box or get some aftermarket. I will also need to poke around to see if there is a specific aircraft that I should be modelling it after. I will also be mining LSP to see what other great builds have been done and the areas I need to watch out for.
Any comments and criticisms are definitely wanted as this helps me to improve my craft. I am also quite confident there are dozens of exerts on here that will keep me on the straight and narrow.
Some initial shots of the box and AC parts. I also started to clean up and drill out the instrument panel and various other parts.
Thanks for reading.

Hello-
These are pics of my Tamiya A6M2 1/32nd scale Type 21. My model depicts the aircraft of NAP1/C Tsuguo Matsuyama during the 2nd strike of the Pearl Harbor attack. The kit took me a long time to build, mainly due to life's interruptions, such as going back to college for a master's degree, and other situations. Anyway, it's an excellent kit, the fit is great unless you add too many details (I found that out during the build and it slowed me down) but, in the end, the kit fits together easily (typical of Tamiya), and it was a lot of fun.
I used mostly GSI Mr. Hobby Colors for the build, along with Taiya paints, Alclad II lacquer, Vallejo acrylics, lots of Future, and even some blue food coloring . The tires and drop flaps were aftermarket resin, I added wiring in the cockpit and on the engine, and the seatbelts are the ones included in the kit, which are probably the weakest part of the model. Overall though, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for looking!
Link to the build log: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/56908-finished-mojo-rei-sen-tamiya-mitsubishi-a6m2/

This is my reproduction of a Bf-109 G-6 Werknummer 160717, it was flown by Gruppenkommanduer of II/JG 51. Hptm Karl Rammelt. When his unit moved to Romania during the second half of 1943 the white fuselage band was painted over in a lighter version of RLM74. It was at Nisch in Romania when the wooden club was painted on to Hptm Karl Rammelt's aircraft by his ground crew. Not much I can really expand on the with the kit itself, but I built it straight out of the box expect for the seat harnesses.
All comments welcome, oh and yes, the sun does come out in Scotland lololol

'Morning ladies and gents, lads and lassies,
Let me give it to you, straight. The Mustang was never one of my favorites. Something to do with the snobbish side of me, never wanting to love a plane everybody loves to love. It's sooo uncool to like a pretty face, right?
That is until some months ago, when stranded in a foreign land and estranged from my trusty desk and rusty tools, all that was left for me to do was some virtual modelling on the internet. That is when I read about a new Revell release associated in some way with Radu Brinzan. I knew the name and respected the modeller. I was intrigued and read on, the previews, the reviews, the WIPs ... and soon before long I was hooked.
I wrote to my friend in Belgium to buy a kit for me and in anticipation, I myself ordered an Eduard interior set. Thus, months later upon my return to my trusty desk, I was ready to join the fray.
For my subject, I chose Art Fiedler's HELEN, a P-51D-5 of the 325 GR in Italy 1944.
Seen here in static simulation
And in simulated video
The main reason for this choice is an opportunity to airbrush the famous yellow-and-black checkers and the various markings using Frisket film. I know it shows my age but what the heck?
Secondly, this particular machine is retro-fitted with the dorsal fin fillet DFF found on later versions of the P-51D. So it will give me the chance to try my hand at the controversial 'swayback' fillet as these field-installed mods were known. Just what I needed to spice up an all-too conventional build... or so I thought at that time
'Nuff said. The ride is about to begin, ladies and gentlemen, all aboard.
Cheers,
Quang

Guys,
Iâ€™m building the new Revell Mustang (like everyone ðŸ¤“) and am enjoying it so far until...
...a few days ago I lost the after-deck part to the carpet monster.
Iâ€™ve sent Revell a request for a replacement but I donâ€™t count too much on it. So I decided to replicate it in plasticard. Looks like itâ€™s not too complicated to do.
But then I need to understand what Iâ€™m trying to replicate, details like the part in silver and the engraved semi-circle ...
Can you, Mustang experts inform me so that I could go on with my build?
Thank you all
Quang

Hello!
Finished my first piloted LSP build, a Caudron 714 in gaudy colours. Time to start a new build. Another prop with another odd paintjob. How about a North American Texan in the Heart of Darkness? Just one word:
Biafra.
A lot of darkness, indeed. And some small aircraft.

Hello all,
I thought id try something a little ambitious on this 109 as I had three sets of decals for a Fliegerkompanie J-371 Bf-109 E-3, I guess I swung away from doing it before as the size of the decals was a little scary. So I painted it up ready for the decals knowing I had a degree of safety having three sets to get it right............hmmmmm! I gave up,and then broke out the masking tape for a masking marathon â€‹. In hindsight, it was the only way to get this scheme done and I am pretty happy with the overall result.
All comments are welcome

Since a topic appeared on the Trumpeter Ju87D, I'm curious about the two subject kits and I thought I'd start my own topic rather than subject that topic to scope creep.
Just for my own knowledge, how does the Trumpeter Ju87D stack up to the Hasegawa Ju87D (or vice versa); the latter being somewhat difficult to acquire and expensive if found. For that matter, how do the kits fall short? I know there's no such thing as the perfect model but since I have very little knowledge of the Stuka, I'd be interested to know the pros and cons of both kits.
For the sake of arguments, lets keep personal opinions out as much as humanly possible.... This is NOT, repeat NOT a manufacturer/kit bashing thread. If it turns that way, I'll ask the offending replies to be deleted and if they continue, the thread to be locked, depriving myself and the community of what I think would be beneficial information. I'm only interested in comparing and contrasting the two kits against each other and to the original article. If claims can't be backed up by credible evidence (no hearsay), I'd rather it not be brought into the discussion. I'd really like to avoid the distasteful, caustic and thread-locking replies and will ask that any such replies be deleted by the moderators (As we all know, they have the final say on the disposition on any reply). Accuracy, fidelity of details, overall fit, etc. are all good topics. Disagreement is to be expected but if it's not presented with respect, I'll also ask that it be deleted (again, if the moderators have not already acted). If there is merit in the reply, I may (again, through and at moderator discretion) ask that the author edit the post and remove the offending text and allow the rest to remain.
In the end, I want the best available information distilled from the community that I can get should I decide to purchase a Ju87D kit. I have but one or two references on the 87 and they're very basic at best. I've come close to buying the Hasegawa kit a couple of times but begged off at the last second. Maybe it was for a reason? Let's hear what the you all have to say....

Hello guys,
I took these photos of a former VNAF Skyraider on display in Saigon.
Incidentally the propeller blades on this plane are mounted backwards (back to front). Should they be mounted properly, I wouldn't have noticed this curious detail: a small angled 'ledge' running lengthwise on the trailing edge of the blade.
Now that I know it's there, I can see it on several other Skyraider photos although it's hard to notice since the 'ledge' is located on the back of the propeller. Can you A-1 experts shed some light on this curious detail?
Thank you
Quang

Since Gaz asked me to add photos of my P-40F, as I was searching my "man-cave", I ran across this build I did a while back:
[
[
The kit's pilot was not good as good as a 1/48 scale figure in a Monogram Mustang.
But at the time I did this one the very nice AM cockpit and harness detail sets weren't available.
[
Once again, since I had no airbrush at the time, it was painted with Testors enamels and MM acrylics, hand bristle brushed.

Hello Forum,
"within the build is before the built" I read some in the world wide web - I think somewhere aftmost left. .Some minutes before I was able to lay my hand on this beauty - also I payed much too much for her* burt I will plan much more that i jumped in with the Camel F.1. So this'll be at the very beginning a research thread swinging to a building an asking for help thread later on.
Here the technical drawing for those who are interested in such stuff:
And there is certainly a question of the colour sheme - I love this "British Post Red" as I remember it from my London trip once up on a time called it.
Is this the "right" red - or is it too dark?
Now to my questions - and as a newby I've got a lot of this
I can't figure out when these coloursheme was used - okay before 1940 (then I found pictures in the pacific darkblue and sky light grey pattern).
a)
Is it right when I'll call her "1445" after her number on the tail? Or is the hull's side number "5-F-1" crucial? The coloursheme of the Revell kit semms to be the same as her's and the squadron symbol might be the same.
What is the right Squadron my beauty belongs to? Was theirtimes there a sqaudron-colour or was it a a carrier-colour?
c)
If I say - okay red is nice but I want to bring the VB-2 "Big bad Wolf" on here hull - what do I have to do at the markings and to her colouring?
I just learnd by http://wp.scn.ru that this was a Bomber Squadron not a VF for Fighter one
So there apearce onn the far horizon the question if there might be a biplane Helldiver Curtiss SBC 1/32 kit...
...or if not - is it possible to built the SB2C back to a biplane?
Could I take the measurements from the 1/72 Heller or the Matchbox kit?
Thanks for your intrest and patience with a questioning greenhorn in here!

Well, after seven months of work, Tamy's 32nd scale Birdcage Corsair is finally done!
There's been a lot of praise over this kit and I can only echo everyone's words! What a lovely kit overall!
For the general painting, I used a mix of acrylic colours from Mig Ammo, AK Interactive, Vallejo and Hataka as well as Aclad for the engine. The camo was done with colours from Hataka's Late US Navy paint set and weathering was achieved with oils from the Mig Ammo oilbrusher set and pigments.
The model will be placed in a small vignette but that will be done a bit later in the future!
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed this model from start to finish not just because of it's excellent engineering but also because it was a project I feel tested and pushed my skills to a higher level!
A big thank you to all of you for your continuous encouragement but most important for sharing your feedback and suggestions with me at every stage of the build!
I dedicate this model to my lovely fiancee who bought this kit for me as a birthday present and who has been so supportive of my hobby!
